nQHTIKO HOnOFOLY.
The Standard Oil lawyors evidently neg.
leoted to coach Agent Gulp, of the Louisville
and Nashville road. Before the Interstate
Commissioners yesterday he unwittingly gavo
tho whole schemo away.
His testimony, intended to favor the oil
monopolists, leaves no reasonable doubt that
the.rnost outrageous discrimination in vtiri
ous forms has been practised by his road in
defiance of the law.
This is only a sample case. There is
every reason to believo thnt the other
roads complained of are equally guilty of
breaking the law in favor of the monopoly.
Now, Messrs. Commissioners, off with your
gloves. The peoplo want no gingerly work
work in these cases.
It is a squoro fight between tho law and tho
monopoly. If tho former is not strong
enough to prevail, it will bo reinforced in
quick metre. s
A PREJUDICED OLD LAST.
What a lot of trouble would have been
averted if Mme. Jcmbl, who died in 1866,
had only willed her extensive property di.
rectly to the lawyers. It was certainly very
inconsiderate on her part to mako them
scramblo about for over twenty years to so.
cure possession of her estate.
Moreover, she was exceedingly unjust to
all concerned, for it now appears that claims
for counsel fees not only eat up the entire
property but threaten to ruin the unfor
tunate heirs.
Mme. Jurai, was evidently a person of
old-fashioned prejudices, who took delight
in placing obstaoles in the path of tho legal
fraternity.
THE W TTJJ-B MEMORIAL.
What has tho Poet Wmrrnsn had to do
with the office-holders that tho Essex Club,
of Boston, should prepare a memorial for his
eightieth birthday, to be signed exclusively
by the State and nntionnl officials ? Why
should the cominittco " deem it boBt to with,
hold the text of tho memorial from the public
until after its presentation ?"
WnrmxB is not and novor was the poot of
tho offico-holders. He Is and has always
been distinctively tho poot of the people.
He Is of the masses and not tho classes.
Tho WmrriKB memorial tributo should bo
a broad-based and popular ono, befitting the
character of the poet's verse, voicing, not
merely tho sentiments of club men and office
holders, but tho graceful appreciation of tho
people at large.
THE DREADFUL DAT AFTER.
A day of feasting Is glorious while it lasts.
But It is the dreadful "day after" that
brings Nemesis to tho front.
It is ungracious to preaoh moderation at
such a time. But if thoso who eat and drink
at the Thanksgiving dinner about twice as
muoh as Is good for them will follow this
simple recipe they may escapo somo of the
worst of the stomaoh's revenges:
Not another mouthful aftor dinner until
to-morrow. Feast and fast.
Tux Wobld entertains its nowsboys at an
old-fashioned Thanksgiving dinner this
afternoon. There will bo a mysterious dis
appearance of a phenomenal amount of tur
key and " fixings." The devouring element,
so to speak, will bo on hand.
Police Capt. Gunnkb testifies that during a
period of soven months he never saw Patrol,

the Influenoo of liquor. Glads: has doubtless
been kept on tho forco on account of his
regular habits.
The Old Colony Railroad proposes to
gobble the Boston and Providence road In
the Interests of harmony. This is tho sort of
" harmony " that exiBts between the lamb
and the lion when tho former is inside tho
latter.
It appears that tho new Chaplain of the
Seventh Regiment, though Southern.born,
did not, as roported, serve ia the Confederate
army. He had an excellent war recordJu the
Union army under Gen. Hancock.
Booth and Babrett will not devote thoir
proposed New York theatre wholly to legiti.

On goes the merry war against tho bucket,

It is to be hoped that the portrait which

tacked tho eatables furnished them on
orders, thoy went at the soups, meats and
turkeys as if they had a contract to devour
everything in sight or in tho kitchen below
within nnhotir.
Tho newsboys wore fed in the large main
dining-room that extends from Vesey to
Barclay Ktrcet. The roetm had ben hand
somely decorated with flags and flowers. It
contained 100 tables and five boys sat at each
table. Only COO lads could be
fed at a tlmo. When tho first
COO had eaten until they could not eat another
crumb, they gladly mado room for tho
hungry COO who were massed In tho street,
wnitlng for their chance with commendable
patienco. The boys behaved themselves.
They forgot their pranks In their eagerness to
fill their stomaohB. Never bofore in their
lives had they seen so many good thirigs to
eat at their disposal. They fairly paralyzed
the one hundred waiters with the orders they
gAYO.
THE NEWSBOYB AT PINNEn.
"I'll tackle the whole business," cried a
curly-headed chap, whoso overcoat was a
muslin shirt.
"Glvo Yallorand mo bluefish, turkey and
rabbit on toast," shouted a black-eyed boy of
ten, whoso bare feet rested on the round of a
chair.
" Put ovcrythlng you got on this table, and
hurry up," ejaculated a crippled boy, who
had dropped his crutch under the table.
The din that tho industrious purveyors of
tho newspapers made with knife and fork
could bo heard in Washington Mar
ket. Many of the boys, however, threw
their knives aside and pitched in with their
hands. Hoveral times during tho feasting
the little fellows proposed cheers
for The Would. Tho hoarty re
sponses mode tho dining-room ring.
Crowds of pooplo blocked up the
sidewalks of Vesey and Barclay streets in an
attempt to get a glimpse of the novel sight of
newsboys banqueting. Hundreds of peoplo
begged for admittance, The feast began at
1.30 and the last crowd of COO was not through
until 3.30 o'clock. The bill of fare was as
follows:

THE r-ABADE TO THE HOTEL.
As early ns 11 a. m. the boys began to as
semble in Theatre alley in the rear of The
Wobld building. Thoy had previously been
furnished with tickets for tho dinner. Hero
is a copy of tho ticket held by James Lyons,
of Park street :

THANK8U1V1N0 DINNER
; Given to tho :
I Newsboys of New York
; bj The World at Hotel BveretU j
Meet at Wobld office, Thunder, Nov. st, :

At 12 M. thoro were over n thousand boys in
Theatre alley. l'hoi,o who could not obtain
tiokcts wore told to get in line. Tho 1,000
tickets had been all distributed before noon.
It was decidod, however, not to permit
a boy to go without a Thanks
giving dinner. When those who had
upplied for tickets were told that they could
?o along with their comrades, many a little
ellow wbb made happy. At 1 o'clock the
1.200 boys formed a solid mass thnt packed
Theatre alloy from Ileekmau street to Nassau
street. Preparations wore being made to
Karado to tho Hotel Eerett. A
ne baud of niubio firmed and
the boys gave tho musicians a
rousing reception. AVhen tho boys were
formed iu line, two by two, tho signal to
start -via given and tho hungry army of
urchins began, the march. Tho route was
through Bcekmau street to Park How, to
Chambers street, to Uroadwnv.to Mail street,
to Park ltow.to Vesey street, to Hotel Everett.
As the bovs pasned The World office thev
cheered, blew horns and waved flags, which
hundreds of them carried. A large bnuner
had this inscription : " Evening World's
Thanksgiving Dinner for Newsboys at Hotel
Everett." Tho uniquo procession was
witnessed by crpdn of peoplo. The
boys v ere frequently cheered lythe specta
tors. A procession of over ono thousand
new sboys was never before been iu New York.
The only break in tho ranks occurred at
Broadway and Chambers street, where
a gentleman throw $10 worth of sil
ver change among tho boys. Lino
was broken, nnd there was a tug
of war for a few minutes. One hundred
boys were in a few seconds piled up together
and in the scrimmage that followed heads,
legs and arms were seen in a confused mass.
Mr. Everett received the boys upon their
arrival, and did everything in his power to
serve the guests of The Wobld.

Works Both Ways.
Upper Broadway night before last was in
that mellow and complacent frame of mind
which is tho usual accompaniment of Thanks,
giving week. It laughed and joked and did
its best to be happy.
A timid. looking boy crept out of tho shadow
of a hallway and touohed a man on thesleovo.
" l'lcaso, sir," ho plcadiid, " I'm so hungry I
Glvo me a few pennies."
The man stopped. " Hungry eh r " ho said,
gruffly, shoving back the boy's hand.
"Yes, sir; oh, so hungry! I haven't had
anything to cat all day I"
" Haven't, eh V" The man looked ns though
he would annihilato the boy on the spot.
" Hungry! Well, Jt pever refjiso to.listn to
the voico of' htinser. Como with mo to a
restaurant, and I'll fill you up so full that
you can't walk."
" Oh, thank yon, sir. But but I'd rather
have tho money. They'ro hungry at home."
" They are. eh ? Well, I'll seo about that
after I've filled you up." Thn man's fnco
was a glowing picture of Thanksgiving
charity. Man and boy went into a res.
taurant.
" Here, waiter," said the map, " give this
boy all that he can eat, and bring the check
to me."
In a few minutes the waiter camo up and
said that tho boy could not eat, because he
wns not hungry. A policeman was Bont for.
" Do you know this boy ?" asked the man.
" I know him woll," replied the police,
man. " He's n professional beggar, and his
folks aro doing timo oil the inland."
" Take him out into the street nnd cuff his
ears uud let him go."
Last night at tho same hour, when tho
same man was walking along the same part
of Broadway, ho was accostod in thn same
manner by a boy who wanted pennies be.
cause he was hungry.
" Oh I" said the man, " so you're hungry,
too, ore you ?"
" Yes, sir. " walled the boy. " I ain't had
nothin' to ent since yesterday."
" Oh, you have'nt ? Well, come with me.
and if you're hungry I'll fix you up in shape,"
The man turned an ay his face to hide a smile
of fiendish glee.
In the same restaurant the man said to the
same waiter : " Give this boy all that he can
eat, and bring the check to me."
The waiter closed his left eyo with a smile.
At tho end of half an hour he brought tho
waiting man a check for $2.76.
" How's this?" gasped the man.
" Hoy was hungry, Bir." replied tho waiter.
"Genuine case of hunger, sir. Boy must
havo been starved for a week !"

AN INCIDENT WITH A MORAL.
A nistreeelnc Accident Tlefklls n. Young YVe
mnn on a Ferry Beat.
A young, pretty and stylishly dressed young
woman peacocked aboard ono of the Jersey
Central forry boats at Jorsoy City to-day.
Hho had just como In on a Philadelphia train.
Sho woro a tight-fitting, ground-sweeping
ulster, such as tho ultra-fashionablo women
now uso to show off the graceful lines of the
figure. Bohind, and below the waist, was a
bump that Barnum's rescued camel might
havo envied. The lady tossed her pretty
head and swung her skirts with a " please,
admiro-my.bustlo " air, and entered th'o
cabin.
At that moment a wonderful transformation
appeared. Those who were following her saw
the ulster subside for at least two foot. The
camel's hnmp had disappeared as If it had
been a bubble oollapsed.
The painful silence of a moment was broken
by an eleven-year-old bey, who rushed up to
the lady, touched her on the arm, exclaimed:
"Miss, you dropped something," and offered
her what appeared to be a large salt bag.
"Miss" blushed a dozen different hues.
"That is not mine," Bhe observed.
"Oh, but I saw you drop it!" persisted the
terrible youth, who at this junoture was
yanked aside by his mother.
"Johnny, Johnny! How could you," ex
claimed tho mother.
"Didn't I see It fall," oriod Johnny. "What
did she want to lie"
"Hush. Johnny, hush! Give it me."
Johnny handed the bag over reluctantly
and sullenly, and in another moment It was
buffeting with the waves. "Miss" continued
her journey minus tho bustle. There isa moral
to bo drawn from this incident.
THE TETER COOPER RESOLUTIONS.
They Are In Ha Tils n Frnme thnt They Are
Left In City Hall.
Tho engrossed resolutions lamonting tho
death of Peter Cooper, tho philanthropist,
aro still on exhibition in tho Clerk's offlco of
tho Board of Aldornien. Tho resolutions are
in a frame G foot long by 1 feet wide.
Mayor Hewitt and ox-Mayor Coopor, son-in-law
nnd sou of tho luto Mr. Cooper, would
prefer that tho resolutions should remain
where they aro. Mayor Hewitt says that
neithor ho nor Mr. Edward Coopor has a
parlor largo enough to nccommodate the
frame. Tho name of Alderman John O'Neil,
now of King Sing, is prominent at the bottom
of tho resolutions as Chairman of tho com
mittee that drafted thorn.
Tho resolutions adopted by the Board of
Aldermen of 1883, regretting the dentil of
William Saner, who was a member of several
preceding Hoards, have never been en
grossed, although n committee was empow
ered to Reo that tho work was done. Jaehne
and O'Neil, tho boodlers, were members of
tho committee. The resolutions aro now
being finished in handbome stylo, but the
boodlers' higuaturcs will not nppear beneath

selected n special cominittco to appear as

four years ago.

BARBERS TO HAVE A CONVENTION.
tlreat Ilriieflls Expected If They Unite In
One National Organization.
A convention of delegates from tho bar.
bcrs' unions of the United States and Can.
ada is to bo held in Grucner's Hotel, Buffalo,
on Deo. 5, for the purpose of organizing a
national union.
A circular issued by the presidents and sec.
retaries of the unions of this city. Toledo,
Muskegon, Meriden and Dalian calls upon
all the barbers' organizations to send ono
delegate for every 300 membors or
fraction of that number. The cir
cular says that the barbers have learned
the benefits resulting from organized effort,
and that organization has given them higher
wages, and the right to live and board where
they please, a'nd lias placed them generally
in a better position. Thoy, therefore, believo
that much more can bo attained if all tho
barbers wero " linked together in one grand
national union."

not known, though that is not Mr. Bice's
fault. Dixoy seems to have taken tho town
by storm. The advance sales at tho Baldwin,
where ho is playing, are oxtremcly large.
The predictions were that ho would not
make a great success, as most of his " busi.
ness" had been done by the farco-comedy
companies, who usually pirate os much of
other people's work as they pan Illegitimately
secure. Dixey's individuality, however,
probably made his success. He will remain
in San I rancisco for five weoks, and Manogor
Haymnns of tho Baldwin Theatre, estimates
that $50,000 worth of business will bo dona.
Tho receipts for the first night wore 81,000 ;
for the second night $1,400.
Miss Boso Coghlan is looking for a Now
York theatre, which sho is extromoly nnxious
to possess. It is Raid thnt if sho succeeds in
securing u metropolitan house she will pro
duce " Joslyn." a play written by Charles
Coghlan for Sirs. Lnngtry.
Shortly boforo Charles Coghlnn snilod for
Europe he mot an old English friend on
Broadway, whom ho had known years and
years aijo in Bristol. Tho two had plnyed at
the Bristol Theatre Boyal. Mr. Coghlnn,
who assumes tho roles of ardent young lovers
on tho stage, paled as he saw this horrible
reminder of his ogo walking nlong. " For
Heaven's snko. old man," he Bald aftor ho had
greeted his old acquaintance, " don't toll tho
peoplo out hero how long you'vo known mo."
H. Clay Miner's dismissal of tho " Mile, do
Bressier " peoplo was very severely criticised
by " tho porfosh " yesterday. "It's all very
well," said a well-known actor, "for Mr.
Miner to assort that tho contract calls for a
two weeks' notico and thnt is all. A clause to
that effect is on yery, contract, but it is
always explained away by managers who do
clare that a season under their management
cannot last less than thirty weeks. This
' Mile, do Bressier ' collapse reminds mo of
1 Allan Dare's ' sudden termination and of tho
' Silver King ' with Do Bellovillo some time
ago."
John A. Mackay is preparing for his tour
under Leander Richardson's management,
which will begin in a few weoks. Both man
ager and star feel extremely sanguine. Mr.
Mackay has a new play. He did not accent
" A Glimpso of Pnradlso," which ho thought
unsuitable. The name of his play ho declines
to develop at present.

lMlnr'Urf- nrollnek- rTfiipperl ts China, and Its
Shell Hold ae an Ornament.
I Yon ( file rrantiiM CArenfetl.
""Commercially the abalone his a double value,
first as an article of food and nextosan orna"
ment It has been known for a long time,- end far
and wide, as a food, "but It li only of late years that
Its shell has attalnod a settled market valnc. The
Channel Island abalone, called ormer, Is a small
fish, not larger than a good-sUed oyster, and Is es
teemed something of a delicacy. The maritime
negroes of Senegal esteem the abalone an excel
lent article of diet, the Now Zt slanders called It
"mutton flih," and among the Chinese and
Japanese It la much sought after. The manner In
nh'ch the two mtions eat the animal Is, however,
entirely different. The Japs take only tho very
smallest llah and eat them when freshly ranght
with uayenne pepper nnd vinegar. 'Ihe Chinese
get the lamest possible, and only eat them after
ihey have been subjected to a drying process.
When the Chinese first came totals coast they
found tho shore Ind ans eating the abalone, and
recognizing It as highly superior to their own bn
leeo they at once set to work catching the flsh. Tho
Portuguese also embarked In the fishery, but the
Chinese, with their splendid business habits and
nulet persistency, soon succeeded In running out
ihelr rivals nnd thoy now control the enterprise.
The extent of that enterprise Is but little known,
nor is it tironoicd to enter Into details on thlsoc
caslon. Fleets of schooners are regnlarly employed,
and all up and down the coast from Mcndoilno to
Acapoloj there uro nahlng villages whose Inhabi
tants do little If anrtnlnx else than catch and pre
pare the abalone. Bo persevering were thcChlncso
ahalone flahcra ut one time that the Mexican (lor
ernment, fearing the molluak would be extermi
nated, parsed a law forbidding tho catch. Tho
oRUUl vigilance has relaxed of late, howertr, and
tho fishery ts carried on as vigorously as ever.
Sometimes the abalone flehlng villages on the Call
fnrnla coast incluue s many as one hundred and
ntty people an I the number so occupied altogether
muat bo very lame.
The nahlng la conducted at low tide, the principal
grounds on this coaat being olongr tho Catallna and
SAJta ltosa ltlanda, In the Santa Barbara channel,
and from Monterey to San Diego, although an Im
mense quantity are also taken from Half-moon Bay
(whero ihey attain grrat size), and from the rocks
that line Mendocino County. The flab, as has neen
sal l, fasten thems-lves to the rocks by means of
tnelr foot, using it as a snekcr. Just before the
tide leaves them on the ebb, and Just after It has
reached them on the flow, the abalone keeps his
shell partly open, with the foot drawn Into
a small space. This Is the fisherman's op
portunity. With a Ion, broad knlfo or a
spade-like Instrument both arc used he gives
a quick lift to the sucker or foot. Tho air Is
by this means let In, the suction Is desttoyed, and
the fish falls off, n hen It Is seized before It can
fasten Itself afresh, and thrown Into a boat or
basket. If the rial lira below water a sort of grap
pling iron Is let down, and the point being Inserted
under the shell a vigorous wrench pulls It away.
All this has to bo done quickly and quietly, for If
the abalone closes llrmlr on the rock no power ran
draw it off, eo great la the power of adhesion, und
It will be broken IntofragmcnU before It releases
its hold. Occisioun!ly some foolhardy person tries
to detach tlie creators when the shell Is ajar by In
serting the lingers between that and the rock and
then pulling sharply; but it is a very dangerous ex
periment, und c.iHci are on record where the ex
pcrlmeuter has been held In the fatal grip of tne
abalone until drowned by the rising tide.
The catch bclnir over, the abaloues are dumped
on the beach, und then, with a flat, sharp stick,
tho flsh ta pulled from the shell, gutted and stripped
of its curtain, boiled. Baited uud strung on long
stlcka to dry lu the sun. Tne whole of this process
Is an unpleasant one, for tho animal la highlr
gelatinous, and the stripping uud gutting are such
dirty process s that none but Ctnuameu would
undertake them. When properly dried and to be
so considered the flsh must bo as hard as sole
leather the abaloncs aro p ickcd In sacks nnd sent
to China, cither direct In the schooners or from
San Francisco. The price of the abalone incut
here Is from five cents to eight cents a pound,
which means that by the time It reaches the con
sumer In China It must be worth from seven cents
to ten cents a pound a high price for any Chines
article of food. When cooked It Is cut Into strips
and boiled, tho taste being a good deal like that of
a clam, with, however, more of a meat consist
tency. The export figures aro dlfllcult to net at,
but ihe trade is certainly considerable. In lsiw
there wero exported from San Francisco by steamer
1,691 sacks, valued at $14,440, and In lsoT the ex
ports had risen to 8,713 tacts, valued at $33,090.
The export to-day amounts to about 200 tons a vear,
wnlch, at $17S a ton, would amount to $33,000 a
year, a calculation which Is decldedlr below tho
mark. Vast quantities of tho dried flsh arc used
here In Chinatown and by the Chlnuic all o er the
coast.
Before the shells wcro fonnd to be of any mar
ketable value they were thrown awny, one heap a
little to the south of San Diego containing over
loo tons of shells. By exposure to the rain and
roastln: sun the outside ol this heap has been con
verted Into lime, but thla Una been broken Into and
some of the loveliest shells have been dug out.

The train from the East over the Burlington and
Missouri Kallroad had an exciting race with horses
near Hudson yesterday afternoon. When the
locomotive steamed Into tho Union Depot last even
ing It was apparent It had run a-muck of some de
scription. Ihe engineer told the story In a graphlo
way.
Jnst east of Hudson three horses got on the track
and commenced running In front of the train. The
engineer saw the animals and tooted his whistle.
The only effect the alarm had was to start the
horses into breakneck speed on trie track. The
race was kept up lor half a mile or more, and at
first waa quite exciting, as the Iron horse gained
rapidly uu the llesh-anu-blood horses, which were
straining their utmost to keep ahead.
Tho engineer thought, of course, that tho ani
mals would have the usual sense of the equine
family and spring off the track when the engine
came close: but they failed to swene from their
mud race, and before he could stop the train tho
pilot struck two of them. One was thrown off into
udltci and the other one wns thrown up on the
pilot and agaltiBt the headlight so that il broke out
the glass uud otherwise damuitcd It. The poor am
nial was literally knocked to pieces. The train
came In without a headlight and the locomotive
bore apparent evidences of having ploughed
through an abattoir.
